Abstract
Molecular magnetic toroidal moments are molecule-based structures of quantum spins that are expected to boost magnetic storage technology and quantum computing. We study selected fictitious but typical examples of single-molecule toroidal magnet behavior, discuss the essence of the concept and clarify inappropriate or even wrong assignments of physical properties. We provide an outlook that discusses necessary ingredients to the concept of toroidicity.
